Welcome to the only official Facebook page of Milwaukee Parkside School for the Arts
Milwaukee Public Schools: Elementary and Middle School
Grades: K4 - 8th Grade
In 2012, the Milwaukee Public Schools Board of School Directors approved the merger of Dover Street Elementary School and Tippecanoe K–8 School for the Arts & Humanities. The two schools had been occupying the former Fritsche Middle School facility at 2969 S. Howell Ave. since 2011. The merger strengthened the educational program with an integrated arts and humanities specialty, consolidated enrollment recruitment efforts, initiated a united sense of community for all students and staff in the building, and fostered budget and program implementation efficiencies.
In 2013, the MPS Board approved a new name for the school, Milwaukee Parkside School for the Arts, effective with the 2013-14 school year.
Both Dover Street Elementary and Tippecanoe K–8 School for the Arts & Humanities were rooted in the rich histories of their respective Bay View neighborhoods.
